Vampire Literature as a Reflection on Society’s Other

HomeBücher über VampireVampire Literature as a Reflection on Society’s Other
Ever since they have found their way from the shady realms of myth, folklore and superstition into the world of literature, vampires have enjoyed an enormous and lasting popularity with readers. Their constant transformations and their extreme flexibility as literary characters have provided the ancient monsters with a never-ceasing actuality. The literary vampire has transcended boundaries of time, space, culture and genre, bridging gaps between high-brow literature and pop culture. However wide the range of different fictional depictions of vampires may be, they have nevertheless remained recognizable and relevant through one essential characteristic feature: Their simultaneous close proximity and profound Otherness to human nature. This book aims to examine the different forms and aspects of the Other that vampires in literature have come to represent, and to discuss what these manifestations of otherness mean for each time’s society’s Self.
